Hello Everyone!!! I've got a really quick post today. I finally finished my Christmas shopping and grocery shopping, but I still have tons to do. Absolutely nothing has been wrapped! The cleaning lady is supposed to be here any minute and I've got to start preparing for the guests we're having tonight. My hubby and son went to a movie, so I don't have anyone in my way :-)

I made some holiday gifts for Diana, one of the sweetest ladies that I know. Her favorite color is teal blue and I found the perfect thing for her and altered it a bit. Here it is:

Snowy Hug Snowflake Ornament

This ornament measures about 10-12 inches in diameter and is completely covered with glitter. It's just beautiful. When I saw it I immediately thought of Diana and just had to get it for her. I altered it very simply by adding Magnolia's #3071 Snowy Hug to both the front and back of it. I cut the image and it's background, from BG's 'Oliver' collection, with Spellbinder's Nestabilities. I added stardust Stickles to the fur and snowy ground.

I colored the image with a combo of Copic markers and Ranger DI's. The details follow:

AWE! This is adorable! I love the blue sparkly snowflake! This stamp is adorable on of my favorites from the Christmas Collection. You have really been crafting up a storm for being the busiest time of year!

Hi Angie!What a fabulous find and a fabulous way you have altered it. Such a perfect image for the centre. Diana will love it especially as it is her favorite color. I love how you have colored Tilda and Snowy.I had to really zoom in to see that you have put spotted paper for the scallop circle. Nice touch.You are clever to use both Copic's and distress inks. Not knowing anything about Copics I would guess you have used them for her face!!!!!Have a wonderful Christmas.Hugs Maz

A beautiful ornament Angie.. Am wondering if you have any other Christmas ornmaments as you seem to use this one the most... Seriously... It is beautiful and I know Ms Diana will just love is and you are so kind to make her the color that she loves the most... so very kind of you... vet it will go right in front of her tree... Have a Merry Christmas...Hugs, Jean
